[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The public institution labor director system passed the first hurdle in the National Assembly on the 4th.

The National Assembly's Planning and Finance Committee held a bill adjustment committee meeting in the afternoon and approved the amendment to the Act on the Operation of Public Institutions, which centers on the introduction of the labor director system in the public sector.

This system, in which worker representatives participate in the boards of public institutions, was requested for processing within this regular session of the National Assembly by Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung. People Power Party candidate Yoon Seok-youl also expressed support.

However, as processing was delayed in the Planning and Finance Committee's Economic and Fiscal Subcommittee due to opposition from People Power Party members, Democratic Party lawmakers formed a bill adjustment committee last month and referred the bill.
